Qantas has followed the example of Singapore Airlines for its Airbus A380 cabin-configuration plan, with first class on the main deck and business above, along with some economy seating.

The Australian flag carrier's seat plan for the 450-seat double-decker reveals that the main deck will contain 346 seats - 14 first-class suites and three economy cabins seating a total of 332 passengers. The upper deck has 104 seats - 72 business class (three cabins) and 32 premium economy at the back.

Qantas has also followed the SIA philosophy on crew rest locations, with the flightdeck compartment behind the cockpit and - apparently - the cabin crew compartment below deck (as it does not feature in the seating plan).
